Don't care what it is.
The real question is, does it eat legs?

[CocoaJin]

Or can it swim up mech urethras?

[kazlaton]

So has anyone seen this on the actual game map? Or did they just add this in for the video? If you did see it, where and how often?

Watch the Dev vlog. Wait around at the end. Wtf is that? Speculation from cryptoexobiloogists starts now.

There's something in the water?

[Almond Brown]

Be careful. It might be liquid LRM's. Ohhh the horror... LOL!

I was just there, fighting in the remains of its carcass.

Oh, wait, you mean the actual smaller living one?

It does, however, bring to mind...



There be thresher maws...

Got it on video last night when running around. Need to get my video editing software out and get it posted.

I'll see what I can do today.

Cheers

I saw it last night. I have no idea where I was, or even which base I started from. I know I went left when everyone else went right, and I think it was just less than halfway across the map. I blurted out to my team, "There's something alive in the water!", lol. No one said anything, so I didn't know if it was just old news at that point or just me being a noob.

PGI should add torpedoes.

I wish... if that deos eat legs it will be kind of "Shi no Numa" for lights.

I had the benefit of dropping several times on this map. It's really awesome. Only thing I'm not a fan of is the sense of scale. I know, alien planet and all, but I wish there was something that reaffirmed exactly how big you actually are. Don't get me wrong, the plants and trees are really cool. But, for example, the steps up to the plateaus (I'm assuming they are supposed to be some kind of ruin and not just convenient terrain) could have been scaled down so you still feel like a mech, and not a toy in the garden. Even a crashed dropship or something would help.

[Brody319]

I give whoever captures that planet about...1 week before they recreate the battle from starship troopers but with mechs.

Couple of times now. Dont remember if its in the same spot or not. Kind of frightening in my Commando. In my Atlas, notsobad

[Bongo TauKat]

Even more importantly...can you trip on it?

[kazlaton]

I found the spot from the video. It's along the E3/D3 grid line, in a pond with a bunch of ...eels? swimming around in it. And yes, the little beast pops up about once a minute.

Actually that is a natural geological formation that can be caused by hot springs. Here is a link to a good example.

Unlike Teq, I am fairly sure this thing is alive.

Ah, well that makes sense then.

[GuardDogg]

I saw that thing in the water while playing conquest. I was like HOLY CRAP!....to bad it wouldn't grab a mech to pull down into water.
